One of the coolest happenings of recent years is the release of so much outstanding underwater video footage. The ocean is freakin’ amazing! Humans really haven’t been able to explore the undersea realms all that well and have only recently begun to tap into life at the really intense depths. This is a pretty sweet giant 6 gilled shark video clip. The footage is great, and the dialog is also pretty outstanding. “He’s so huge! Look how thick he is!” While there’s not much in the shot to give you a sense of perspective and size, the shark was estimated at 17 feet. This shark was seen off the coast of the Hawaiian island of Moloka’i.

Today we would like to give special thanks to Janine Bauer, the German medical student who stepped in and offered a life saving assist to a 4 month old tiger cub who was choking on a hunk of meat. The event occurred a few weeks ago when she and her son were visiting the zoo. She helped remove the overly large piece of meat that the cub was attempting to swallow, attempted mouth to muzzle, then heart massage. Within 5 minutes, the cub revived. In homage to these events which saved the little tiger, the zoo in Halle has named the cub Johann which is the name of Janine’s son. See original Reuters article. No images accompanied the article, but the BSH loves tigers and their pictures, so I have included an unrelated but lovely image to enjoy.
